J Balvin - Vibras
Album
J Balvin's 2018 album, made largely with Medellín producer Sky Rompiendo, is the cleanest statement of the Colombian sound that took reggaeton global in the late 2010s: airy synths, soft basslines and hooks that rely on mood rather than force. Mi Gente is the hit, but Brillo, with Rosalía, and Ambiente show how far the album stretches the genre's palette.
